First Line: A FRIEND IS ONE SOUL WHICH OFT-TIMES DWELLS
Last Line: NOR BLOW DEFIANCE AT THEIR DOOR.
Subject(s): FRIENDSHIP; SOUL;
(Two Answers)

1. A friend is one soul which oft-times dwells
Within two bodies, separate,
And fills the deepest hidden wells
With Love that's all compassionate.

2. A friend is two souls which make their nest
Where one was wont to dwell before,
The winds of hate cannot molest
Nor blow defiance at their door.
